** Contents ** 

The files necessary for the replication of all analyses and descriptive information are contained in this repository. Specifically, the files are: 

- replication.dta: data set in Stata format  

- replication_master.do: Do-file/script replicating all analyses (see note) 

- replication_descriptive.do: Do-file/script replicating descriptive information used in the main text 

- replication_main-analyses.do: Do-file/script replicating analyses in the main text 

- replication-additional.do: Do-file/script replicating analyses and additional information in the appendix. 


** Procedure **

To replicate all the descriptive information contained in the main text as well as in the appendix, please execute the file replication_master in Stata. The replication_master script will load the dataset and run also all subscripts. The code has been written in Stata 17. 

To replicate individual parts only, load the data set into Stata and then run any specific do-file, such as replication_descriptive. 


** Notes ** 

All tables and other numeric information will be displayed on-screen and written in the log file (replication_date_time.log). The figures will be stored on disk as PDF. All figures are labeled according to their caption in the main text and in the appendix.
